“The University of Santa Monica is an extraordinary institution, and if you have not heard about it, you need to.

“Even if you already HAVE found your path in life and manifested the reality of your soul’s highest calling, you will want to know more about USM, in order to pass the word about it along to others.

“There is no place quite like USM. If you have been yearning to find your way in life, earnestly searching for a path to your own highest manifestation of the love that burns deeply within you for all of life and for all of humanity, I strongly urge you to investigate this breathtaking graduate school and its Master’s Degree Programs in Spiritual Psychology.”

“The University of Santa Monica is unique in providing an education that engages the heart and spirit as well as the mind. We have encouraged many people to enroll at USM and have also had the pleasure of hiring a number of their graduates. We recommend a USM education highly.”

“There is no question that USM is on the leading edge, creating a model of what education could be, should be, and, in fact, HAS to be!”

“USM walks the talk. To find a grad school that teaches, in practical ways, how to live life the way it was intended to be lived—loving your Self, loving others, and demonstrating success in the world—fills me with hope. And, as a bonus, you earn a degree while doing it! I wholeheartedly recommend USM for anyone who is interested in creating the life they were meant to live. USM knows and teaches what a true education is about—life.”

“USM is nurturing the birth of the new human—the awakening of vocation. The awakening of a calling. The waking of a life purpose that is unique to each of us and that comes deeply forward from the essence of the self and calls you to express that self uniquely in creative action to heal and evolve our world.”

“I am thrilled to find a school like the University of Santa Monica where you can truly do your healing work and earn a degree at the same time you are transforming your life.”

“The University of Santa Monica provides a wonderful environment for real education and spiritual transformation. It draws a high caliber, spiritually mature student with clear intentions. When you bring together the sincerity of the student, the leading-edge Program that the University offers, and the quality of teachers that are facilitating the Program, you have an authentic wisdom school. I have witnessed many of the students matriculate through the Program, and I can see they have walked hand in hand with quality.”

“USM is creating the education of the future.”

“The University of Santa Monica embodies the true meaning of education: to draw out from within. The programs are both academically rigorous as well as deeply healing. Structured so that working adults can attend over a series of weekends and weeklong summer sessions, the Programs in Spiritual Psychology are much needed wisdom training for our times. Come and join a family that inspires as well as educates.”

“At a time when my internal cup was empty, USM filled me with insight, inspiration, and a deeper connection to who I truly am. For anyone on a path of healing, growth, or service, USM offers food for the soul, enlightenment for the mind, and peace for the heart. This school honors and respects every student in such a wonderful way. Regardless of who you are or what you do in the world, a USM education is a life-transforming gift that will sustain and support you all the days of your life.”

“I was often asked, ‘What are you going to do with your degree?’ My answer was always the same, ‘What can’t I do with it?’ What I learned at USM I now use in every area of my life, including my marriage, my parenting, and my career. The degree opened doors for me in an exciting new profession—success coaching and public speaking—and it improved my output as a writer. Simply, it has assisted me most by making everything I do better!”

“After graduating from the University of California, Irvine with a Master’s Degree in Management, I earned my second graduate degree at the University of Santa Monica. My two years in the Master’s Program in Spiritual Psychology represented the height of my educational experience. USM’s curriculum has provided me with the practical facilitation tools and skills that keep my international consulting practice very much in demand. I also continue to use their unique models and concepts as a basis for diagnosing organizational breakdowns, understanding group dynamics in the workplace, and returning businesses of all sizes to maximum health and profitability. As if that wasn’t enough, through using USM’s unique process of self-counseling, I improved my relationships with family members and overcame my fear of writing. As a result, I have since published two books and am writing a third. The University of Santa Monica provides a comprehensive and spiritual approach to psychology that not only teaches the standard theories but also goes beyond them to offer the very latest concepts and approaches that will provide you with personal development and professional success.”

“I discovered a dream at USM. I’d applied knowing that I had the passion, vision, and inspiration to do something great in the arena of career. I loved children and adored teaching, and was looking to develop these interests further in a way that could positively impact and empower our country’s youth. But how? USM encouraged me to look at an entirely new level of possibility! As a direct result of the structure, support, and accountability of USM’s Program, I successfully researched, created, and marketed my own Children’s Empowerment Workshop. Even before I graduated from USM, it was being offered through several schools in the Southern California area! Thanks to USM, I am thrilled to have found my heart’s desire . . . and to have created a thriving business aligned with it!”

“Before attending USM, I already had a happy family life and a successful 25-year career as a college instructor. I questioned what Spiritual Psychology might offer me, yet I felt called to enroll. As a result, I am experiencing mastery in my life on so many levels. USM assisted me in opening my heart in ways I never thought possible. I have discovered depths of understanding, acceptance, and peace that are priceless. I have become a profoundly more loving husband and father. I have healed strained and broken relationships within my immediate and extended families, and I discovered the beauty of my own Being. When my friends ask me if USM is for them, I tell them that their heart already holds the answer. All they have to do is listen.”

“My USM education is the most precious gift I have ever given myself. To be a part of such a rich and diverse educational environment is one of my most valuable life experiences to date, and I treasure the friendships that I have established with my classmates. Through flying in from Texas each month for two years, I have developed a deep commitment to myself and to my goals. Using the principles and skills taught in the Spiritual Psychology Program, I have been able to create a level of excellence in every area of my life that wildly exceeds the dreams I had when I started the program. If you are considering attending USM, then start dreaming BIG!”

“To those of you who focus on upright, outstanding academic programs, please know this: The Master’s Program at USM is one of the most intelligently comprehensive and exciting curriculums based upon the study of psychology that has ever been successfully implemented, and I stress successfully.”

“The Master of Arts in Spiritual Psychology Program is—hands down—the most effective educational Program I know! The courses are designed to make the complex clear, the profound into the accessible, and the theoretical into the utterly practical. It’s brilliant; it’s excellent; it’s structured; it’s supportive! Next to my daughter, USM is the most precious and valuable experience in my life!”

“I’m often asked, ‘How do you use a Graduate Degree in Spiritual Psychology?’ By the time I have finished answering, the question is often forgotten! Because the answer is that I use my USM education in every area of my life. I’m a better listener; a more loving friend and family member; my USM degree touches all of the patients I care for in my career as a Chiropractor; I’m a more effective business person; a more peaceful man; and I’ve developed levels of self-awareness, courage, and trust that have made me more dynamic in every area of my life.

“I completed the two-year Program while I was also in Medical School—two major commitments at once. And the truth is that attending USM actually made Medical School easier, more graceful, and I was a more successful student. USM’s Program supported me in staying centered in who I truly am, focused on and moving forward with my life’s dreams, and clarifying what my place of service is in the world. I cannot imagine what Medical School would have been like had I not had the blessing of USM at the same time.

“USM’s Spiritual Psychology curriculum is outstanding in every way—challenging, creative, inspiring, and fun! The First Year gave me a firm foundation of communication skills and tools for deepening in awareness that are indispensable in this world. The Second Year offered me a series of projects for really applying, integrating, and mastering them. I truly earned a Master’s Degree. And the projects were designed to focus on creating the life, career, and relationship changes that were truly heartfelt for me!

“The University refers to itself as ‘school the way you always wished it would be.’ It’s true; and in addition to a Master’s Degree, I graduated with life the way I always wished it would be!”

“I’m so glad that I gave myself the gift of a USM education! My experience in the two-year Spiritual Psychology Program was very rich, engaging, inspiring, and deeply satisfying. Quite simply, I loved it! Given the depth of the work that is available, I found the curriculum pretty challenging at times—but this was equally matched by the levels of growth, transformation, and freedom that I attained as a result.

“I see my USM education continuing to positively affect my life after my graduation—it’s a gift that keeps on giving. I certainly would have described myself as happy and fulfilled before attending USM. I was already blessed with a loving 20-year marriage, good relationships, and satisfying work as a physician and educator. Yet, for me, my participation at USM has resulted in my experiencing life at even greater levels of vitality, richness, and involvement—like the place in The Wizard of Oz when Dorothy lands in Munchkin Land and the whole movie shifts from black and white to color!

“As a husband, I am more authentic, more intimate, and more energized, and my marriage benefits as a result. As a physician, I am connecting with my patients at a profoundly more meaningful level. I am also experiencing an ongoing deepening of gratitude and satisfaction in my work. My career is unfolding and blossoming in wonderful ways—both expected and unexpected. Using my USM skills, I am consistently able to create and embrace opportunities to make a professional contribution in more effective and meaningful ways. Additional opportunities continue to open up for me in ways that sometimes feel magical. I see my USM education clearly as one of the most profound and positive experiences of my life.”

“I have spent my entire professional life dealing with people, first as a trial attorney for 23 years, and since 1988 as a Superior Court Judge. Now I am retired from the Bench and working as a mediator and arbitrator. Individuals, families, and corporations come to me seeking solutions to seemingly un-resolvable situations. USM’s Graduate Program curriculum has opened new levels of understanding, clarity of purpose, leadership, and vision for me. I have discovered an honest definition of my own direction. After many years of successful public service, my ability to serve my professional community effectively has increased tenfold. I have the greatest regard and respect for the University of Santa Monica as an exceptional institution of higher learning.”

“I’d like to express my gratitude for the excellent educational opportunities I have received from USM. In fact, the experiences and learnings were, in some ways, more useful than my law school years. At law school, I was taught to think in a logical way. That has been extremely useful and financially rewarding over the past 30 years, but somewhat limiting in carrying on relationships with others. USM taught me how to integrate this thinking with more emotional sensitivity, and to take action so that the ‘doing’ (or results) produced are more in harmony with my sense of a successful balanced life.”

“I had just completed a highly successful career as a film producer in Hollywood and was creating a new career as a personal coach when I enrolled in USM’s M.A. Program in Spiritual Psychology. This is a graduate program that’s designed to build upon the truly meaningful areas of your life and transform them from good to great. The skills and tools I learned at USM supported me in expanding my work, finances, health, and relationships to levels that I had just started to consider as possible—and then beyond. I credit the ongoing increase in my financial success, personal fulfillment, and growing ability to make a significant, positive contribution as a global citizen of the world directly to my USM education. For those of you who want to experience greater success and fulfillment on every level, this is a depthful, academically rigorous, and transformational Graduate Program of the highest caliber.”

“My life has been visibly transformed through participating in the USM program. My income has more than tripled, family relationships of ten years have been healed, and my health has never been better. I also have the honor of working with some of the world’s leading minds in the arena of health and well-being. If you want a happier, healthier, wealthier life, USM is the place for you.”

“There truly are no words to capture the great value that is still unfolding in my life as a result of my participation in the University of Santa Monica’s Master’s Program. Flying in from Minneapolis for two years greatly enhanced my commitment to myself and my process. I take pride in my accomplishment and offer my wife’s decision to participate in the Program as my strongest testimonial to the new level of excellence I’m demonstrating in my life.”

“As a direct result of my attending USM, my business has become hugely successful. In a mere ten months, I had created my own children’s clothing line and placed my products in over 50 markets around the country, all while being a single mom! While a high level of commitment and focus has been required to achieve this, the principles and tools taught in USM’s Spiritual Psychology Program have shown me a way to not only achieve my goals but also to work with grace and ease—and to enjoy the process of getting there! This lasting change has made room for greater levels of joy in all areas of my life. If anyone is considering USM, I encourage them to just go for it!”

“My USM graduate education is behind many of the most important decisions I make, both professionally and personally. Even now, ten years after graduating from the two-year Master’s Program, I often find myself asking: “Am I really listening openly? Do I have an agenda? Is this the best choice I could make right now?” USM taught me to ask the tough questions—of myself and others—in a clear and loving way. I also learned to answer courageously and act accordingly. My clients know I can be counted on to give the effective feedback and the clear direction that will guide them to achieving the results they are looking for. Quite frankly, I’m in the business of accountability. My USM education has given me the skills, presence, and courage to model that quality at the very highest level.”

“I know of no other place on the planet where people can experience education on such a deep, loving, and joyous level as can be found at USM. I was given tools to learn more about myself and to reveal my Soul’s purpose, and I am using them to create my life in an intentional, graceful, and powerful way. The level of positive change in my life so touched my family that first my husband attended USM after me, followed by my sister and stepmother! I would recommend the Master’s Program in Spiritual Psychology to anyone who is in search of a deeper knowledge of themselves and a more peaceful, loving world to live in.”

“USM and its commitment to excellence are truly exemplary. Because of my learnings at USM, I can say my experience of life, and the quality of my life have increased many times. My relationship with my sons is much deeper, and there has been a tremendous shift in how I support myself in my career and in all my relationships. If I had to define it, I would say USM absolutely provides a way for someone to learn and to experience ‘Life Mastery’ on all levels.”

“By all accounts, I am too busy for USM. I have a wife and children, I run a large national public corporation. But I can tell you, I have made the time because it is the greatest single gift I have ever given to myself and those around me. My studies at USM have made me a better husband, a better father, a better boss, and a better person. What other education can offer that!”

“I found the communication skills taught in the M.A. Program to be of profound value. For example, through exploring the skill, Accessing Intuition, I began to value and respect intuition as a sophisticated, higher order of logic. This and other skills such as Heart-Centered Listening, Facilitating Creative Solutions, and Seven Steps to Issue Resolution have assisted me in both my personal and professional life. I have been able to utilize the outer skills and the inner growth gained through the Program to help me strengthen the client base of our marketing, design, and image management firm to include multi-national corporations operating on a global level. Perhaps the single most important learning is this: Every issue that is brought to us is designed to serve our growth and upliftment.”

“I work in the exciting and often challenging world of television production. The work I do is pressure-filled . . . time is short, budgets are closely watched, ratings are everything—and kind words can be limited. I regularly receive feedback from senior executives and fellow colleagues at well-known production companies that they make it a priority to have me hired to work on their shows. They say it is because I can be relied upon to bring a sense of calm, clarity, teamwork, and a high degree of effectiveness to difficult and usually chaotic production situations. I say it is because of my USM graduate education. The program provided a dynamic and practical curriculum that taught me skills and tools for bringing these sought-after qualities (and more) into my professional and personal life. And—the tools and skills that USM teaches get better with time. By that I mean the more I use them, the more positive results I achieve: my income is still increasing, as is the level of personal fulfillment I experience in my life on a daily basis. How many people working in the entertainment industry can say that? While it wasn’t part of my ‘plan’ to go to graduate school, I’m grateful that I said ‘yes’ and applied to USM’s Graduate Programs in Spiritual Psychology. By far it’s been one of the best investments I have ever made with my time and money.”
